Transformed Handyman Service Marketplace with AI Implementation

About the Client

USA | Service Marketplace

We all know the pain of local businesses to grow because of not having a website or lack of online visibility. Our generous client from the USA followed the initiative of ‘Vocal for Local’ to give skilled handymen an incredible platform to get recognized in their cities and earn more for a living. This is how Trady came to life!

The old commission-based Trady platform was simply a booking solution where customers seeking handyman services were putting in inquiries and a middleman (vendor) was assigning the jobs. This model created dependencies and complications as our client was aiming to scale the platform by adding more cities.

Having worked on the earlier project, the client approached our web app development team again. He wanted to remove the vendor who was charging commission and started to provide jobs and home (handyman) services under his operations. Also, he was willing to implement our suggestion of AI implementation to automate multiple operations along with modern and scalable functionalities.

Highlights

  • AI-powered service marketplace integration instantly increased the revenue by 70%.
  • A newly launched commission-free marketplace offered affordable home services.
  • The scalable marketplace is now active in 9 cities in the USA and is growing rapidly.

The Challenges

  • The old platform offered a poor customer service experience. The client realized that prompt response to customer queries was significantly affecting the conversion ratio.
  • Initial dependency on the vendor (middleman) consequently affected the scalability of the business, geographically and financially.
  • No significant boost in conversions as customers were finding affordable options on their own in the local market.
  • Local handymen were tired of paying commissions to the vendor (middleman) and felt frustrated due to the lack of conversions. Eventually, they started moving away from it.
